Fantasy Friday XXIII - Unique Formations Part I

[rolzuc]

Great Fantasy Friday as usual :P The fact we reached number 23 says a lot about the variety of the game. Just WOW. And i have the feeling we just scratched the surface til now. Still i wonder if we could have some sort of trailer soon since the last trailer was quite a while ago, when the new DoF Homepage opened. Is there any chance for that?

Mechanical question:

How long does it take to assemble into formation? Are there any penalties while you are changing formations?

[Yami-Yagari]

like how you changed the formation setting from the orcs. switching between mob and battle formation would get boring at some time, plus other races have multiple formations too

Looks GREAT Thanks for this, it has swung me back in favour of the orcs i think...

Will probably be instantenious. if switching between formations takes to long, like say getting charged by cavalry, there´s no point in switching because they´l be dead before they could assemble

Elven formations take a long time to switch, and elven units are immobile and useless while switching.

Men formations take no time to switch, however after switching formations there is a cooldown that does not let you switch again for a little while.

Orc formations have huge fatigue costs and fatigue drains, so while they give big bonuses they also don't last long and cannot be switched often.

Well, while orc and men formations start immediately when called, the slower formations take a while as the units move at the speed of the formation when assembling, so it's best to give them some warning.

Even more formations =O. The changing movement formation is good but dont like those bonuses x.x, they are illogical - example: now if i stand in circle with others than we get stronger armour or my weapons could cut trough stronger armors that couldnt do so before.
They sounds more like ritual dancing and then higher force grant them some powers.

I don't really get the turtle formation . I mean it doesn't really resemble a turtle or any other turtle formation. but the bonuses are nice, rather imbalanced, but nice.

[Alex Walz]

It's more of a turtle shell outline, just a little squished in that keep.
